The mobile communication simulation experiment scenario is built and the simulation parameters are configured according to the real circumstance.The simulation tool,Matlab,is applied to analyzing the link travel speed error.First,the handover link is calibrated by handover test simulation to specify the average handover location and the handover link length.The experiment result shows the handover fluctuation complies with the normal distribution.Second,the handover sample data with handover cell sequence and time stamp is acquired by mobile communication network simulation.Thus,the handover link travel speed is calculated by means of the calibrated handover link length and time difference of the sample.Third,the speed error is obtained from the calculated link travel speed and the readily configured mobile phone speed.The influence of handover fluctuation on collected sample speed error is studied in terms of cell type and handover control rules.
